My husband and I are purchasing a newly built flat in Mere and my solicitor is informing me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the builder. I am on a tight deadline to exchange and I don't want to prolong deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Mere. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Mere?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
Please help - my lawyer says that flying freehold insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Mere conveyancing?
The right level of flying freehold indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
Can you point me to a directory of Principality panel conveyancers in Mere on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings viewable on the web. If you are seeking to appoint a Mere solicitor on the Principality please make the most of our tool.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Mere is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Mere are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Mere you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Mere may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
